Abstract

An organic luminescence device capable of luminescence at a high efficiency, a high luminance and high durability is formed by a pair of electrodes comprising an anode and a cathode, and at least one organic layer disposed between the electrodes. The at least one organic layer includes at least one layer comprising a polymerized film of organic layer having at least two polymerizable double bonds.
